Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:20 a.m. on August 1, 2005, Employee #1, a 17-year-old electrician's apprentice, was working from the seventh rung of a 10 ft fiberglass stepladder, setting ceiling light fixtures into their frameworks. When he came to the last fixture, he was working within 10 in. of an open 4 in. square receptacle box from which were protruding 10 exposed, stripped conductors. He was setting the last unit when the fixture he was pulling through the ceiling contacted an exposed, 277-volt, 20-amp conductor. Employee #1 was knocked off the ladder to the floor. A coworker of a different employer was in the next room, heard him fall, and went to investigate. He saw Employee #1 on the floor, unconscious and unresponsive. Emergency Services was called and he was transported to Frederick Memorial Hospital. Employee #1 was treated and released within 24 hours.
